I will attempt to do some of both today.<br />I have a writer pal who gave a tender manuscript to a mutual pal who never checked back for like six months and it became this HUGE painful thing they may never undo. It is a profound discount and we must all take care of our tender pals and their forays into nudity.<br />good luck dear tartlett!Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-85910335260068780232010-02-16T13:11:41.590-05:002010-02-16T13:11:41.590-05:00Yay, I got a cover printed!! =D

I wanted some insider feedback and got it in spades from realtors and admin folks alike, along with a little fan club with a president and everything--he's gonna get his riding crop sessions from this group, guaranteed. I only have one dissenter who has an off-shoot Craig is So Cute Club.<br /><br />They are going to start punishing me with said instruments unless I reveal all to them soon which I'm NOT doing so I told them to write the first chapter of the sequel and submit them to me. . . I've got my first 2 and while none of them hit the threesome dream fantasy quite right there are some interesting concepts about "what happens next."<br />can you tell I"m sitting around at the computer today? my furnace is out and I'm waiting for the elusive fix-it guy to show. Hopefully he'll be hot so I'll have something to write about tonight!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182147051413946727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-4366697343987077842010-02-16T12:23:27.008-05:002010-02-16T12:23:27.008-05:00You know my assessment: Jack is in need of linger...You know my assessment: Jack is in need of lingerie training by a woman with a riding crop and I won't be deterred from the analysis.<br /><br />Congrats to the contest entries! That is a great way to get your name out there, and wins go on the query as pub credits, so worth doing. I can't seem to find the attention span to polish any of my shorts, sadly...

I finished it but between beer/houses/kids/winter/writing/editing/staring out the window at the snow activities have not done a proper review. I will. promise.) YOu were WAY too good and patient with The Wench's unpolished yet semi promising early attempt. Jack, Sara and Craig are undergoing Brutal re-write 4 now and have 2 shiny new CPs and one BR ready for the WIP ASAP PDQ.

I read a published book by a friend who writes for Simon and Schuster. Then--life happened. Both kids got sick, I was behind on a deadline. I didn't have a chance to get back to him. And I had NO IDEA that he was worried I didn't like it when I finally had a chance to read the book (which was great) and told him I'd enjoyed it. He'd thought my long silence was because I had trouble with the language in the book, the themes, etc. I felt terrible! I guess I kind of thought that he should KNOW the book was good...it got published by a great house, after all. But he was just as insecure as the rest of us.<br /><br />I'm doing better now. And your post is a good reminder.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-90298041661129457592010-02-16T07:27:49.567-05:002010-02-16T07:27:49.567-05:00Can't wait to be your "second reader"...Can't wait to be your "second reader" ;)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.com
